2 Discussions and 1 Case Study and 1 Weekly summary

Discussion 5.1

Many organizations are concerned about the rising cost of employee benefits and question their value to the organization and to the employees.  In your opinion, what benefits are of greatest value to employees? To the organization? Why?  What can management do to increase the value to the organization of the benefits provided to employees?

Discussion 5.2 

When OSHA was enacted in 1970, it was heralded as the most important new source of protection for the U.S. worker in the second half of the twentieth century. From the information in this chapter, what is your opinion about the effectiveness or the ineffectiveness of the act? Should it be expanded, or it should businesses have more freedom to determine safety standards for their workers?

GIS 585: GIS Applications in IT, Business, Management, Health & Government operations

Exercise 1: Investigate pollution patterns with space-time analysis

Elevated levels of fine particulate matter pollution are associated with premature death and increased risk of cardiovascular and pulmonary disease and cost the global economy over 225 billion U.S. dollars in lost labor annually. The patterns of pollution are not uniform globally, and the pollution levels may be overreported in some locations but underreported in others.

In this lesson, you’ll explore global differences in pollution patterns in space and time to find areas with extreme or unusual pollution patterns. You’ll convert between different temporal data structures, apply space-time analysis to time series data, and use charts and 3D visualization to understand your results.

Writing Requirements:
  • Include a report, 3–4 pages in length, in APA format (excluding cover page, abstract, and reference list)

Choosing a Methodology

Consider the differences between Agile and waterfall.

Select 1 methodology to use for a project plan for this initiative.

Create a simplified project plan such as the examples listed in the “Tips” section below. Include, at least, the following criteria: (the predecessor and notes are frequently missed)

Name of task 

Duration

Predecessors

Notes

After completing your simplified project plan, write a 175-word paragraph and complete the following:

Define which methodology, Agile or waterfall, is most appropriate for this project. Why? Cite at least 2 sources to support your rationale.

Describe the following roles for this project: project manager, project sponsor, business analyst, and scrum master or program manager.

You may create your simplified project plan using Microsoft® Excel® or another software application of your choice. 

Tips:

Research additional project plan examples online

Consider the application characteristics and requirements when building your project plan. For example, the app will require a search feature so employees can search for available programs, will require security to protect personal information, etc., which will help with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Note: This information will be helpful in the Week 2 – Apply: Work Breakdown Structure assignment.

Read the 2 linked examples of project plans implemented as Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets: Example Plan A and Example Plan B. Use these as guides in creating your own draft project plan (DO NOT SUBMIT THE SAME TASKS!). Notice the differences between these 2 examples in terms of length (overall and task length), the structure of the work breakdown (iterative vs. non-iterative), and methodology. 

Submit your assignment – both your completed methodology questions and your project plan.

Homework

  

Select an organization that you can research that has an on-premises business function that you believe will benefit from a migration to cloud computing. This paper must be entirely original content and checked with grammarly.com before submitting. The paper must include the following sections. Each explicitly listed with a heading. 

  • Company      Overview:  The section should      include the company name, the industry they are in, and a general overview      of the organization.
  • The      On-Premises Function: Discuss the current      application or functional domain that you are proposing for a move to the      cloud. For example, an inventory management system or the organization’s      email platform. Why will this benefit from cloud migration?
  • The      Proposed Cloud Solution:  Describe your proposal      for moving the function to the cloud. Be specific and detailed. What      services would you use? Which service provider would you use? What      timeline do you propose? Include as much detail as possible. This portion      should be a minimum of 2 pages. For example, indicate the specific      services you will consume or subscribe to, (if you are moving to AWS, I      would expect to see specific services listed such as EC2, S3, Redshift,      Lambda, and others). Indicate where storage is duplicated and failovers      may be present.
  • Diagram:      You must diagram the solution you are proposing 
  • Conclusion:       Summarize the most important ideas from the paper and make      recommendations on how they might achieve even greater success.      
  • This paper should not be a cursory overview. This class has a technical  focus and this work should center  on the proposal of the technical  solution. It should detail moving to the cloud, what cloud services will  be used, and what the predicted benefits are. This is a persuasive  paper trying to convince the organizational leadership to approve a  well-defined project to move a function to the cloud. This paper is not  an analysis of an organization that has already done so. Do not write  about Amazon, Azure, Google, Apple, IBM, or other cloud providers. You  may not use Netflix, Xerox, and Fitbit as a topic organization for this  paper.
